You can investigate past evacuations by generating reports from the Evacuation activities task in Security Desk.

You must have the Evacuation activities privilege.

What you should know

  • You can configure how long past evacuation data is kept using the Plugins task Cleanup setting.

    For more information about database cleanup, see Scheduling database backups and cleanups for the Evacuation Assistant plugin.

  • If the user generating the report does not have partition access to specific cardholders, their sensitive information will be redacted in the report.
  • If the user generating the report does not have partition access to certain areas, evacuations for those areas are unavailable in the Evacuations, Evacuated areas, and Last access locations filters.
